Aronnax, that the pumps of the Nautilus allow me to store the air under considerable pressure, and on those conditions the reservoir of the apparatus can furnish breathable air for nine or ten hours." "I have no further objections to make," I answered. "I will only ask you one thing, Captain how can you light your road at the bottom of the sea?"
Maybe they'll even figure out a way to make it rotate faster, give it a reasonably short day, and a breathable atmosphere make a warmer second Earth out of it...

The dirigible with an unconscious crew aboard plunged on through the night, but every moment exhausted more gas from her bags and the craft gradually dropped till she had reached an altitude where the air was breathable. Frank was the first to stir.
Three more had to be entered, in space-suits, and each had to have its interior warmed so breathable air could exist inside it, and at least part of the stored provisions had to be brought up to reasonable temperature for use on the journey.
